ALEPPO NORTHERN COUNTRYSIDE, Syria (North Press) – The Turkish-backed Military Police arrested yesterday a civilian of Afrin region in Aleppo northern countryside, north Syria. “Members of the Military Police raided a village in Maabatli district of Afrin countryside and arrested Jwan Muhammad Youssef without knowing the reasons,” an eyewitness told North Press. According to the monthly report of the Violations Documentation Center in Northern Syria (VDC-NSY), the Turkish-backed National Army factions arrested 37 people in Afrin since the beginning of February. Since the Turkish incursion into Syria, the killing and wounding of 8,590 people have been documented. The figure of detainees has reached 8,230, about 5,530 of whom have been released, while the fate of the rest is still unknown. The city of Afrin and its villages, north of Aleppo, have been controlled by Turkish forces and the affiliated factions since March 2018. Since then, the region has been witnessing ongoing security chaos accompanied by infighting among militants of the Turkish-backed factions, arrests, and kidnappings amid the factions’ disability to settle the security and spread safety.
